I really do think that Bogut can get it because he should be able to get all the court time he wants and should get alot of the ball - He will be either the 1st or 2nd option, he and Redd.

Chris Paul will also get what he wants because he is the star in the Hornets, unless Magliore plays well again and JR Smith gets a fair bit better.

My pick is = Deron Williams
I reckon this guy has the skills, smarts and is on the right team to be great! The Jazz have a great chance to make the playoffs if all their talent can mesh well!

If Baron gets injured this year for a long period of time, I would trade him for Deron Williams - If he does perform as well as I expect him to. Deron Williams just seems to have that star material about him.

Andrew Bogut has NOTHING on Emeka Okafor coming out of the draft... and Emeka only got 15 points a game his first season. 16-20 ppg is a disturbingly high average for a rookie... people who end up changing the game come in like that. I doubt Bogut will average so hgih (plus, he's on a team where Michael Redd's the first option... he wont get as many shots as you think).

Deron will be a great player, I agree, but I don't think the Jazz point guards after John Stockton have been stellar so far. I guess he'll have the chance to prove me wrong.

Surprised no one's voted for Marvin Williams! Kid was #2! And, damn, is he athletic! We may be overlooking somebody here...

Or Chris Paul! He has the potential to be the best point guard in the draft! Hell, I almost took him ahead of Ray Felton... but, Ray's got players to pass it to (Emeka, Gerald) and Chris Paul is gonna have to make due by himself. How sad.

Marvin Williams on the bench at Duke wasn't he. If that was the case, how the fuk did this guy get picked ahead of all the other guys, including about 4 of his teammates. If it was because of potential then he better end up great because his teammates seemed more polished

Almost, he was the 6th man on the Tar Heels, North Carolina. He was picked ahead only becouse he has much more upside than Felton, May, McCants or Jawad Williams.

Yeah, what it take to be a great NBA player and what it takes in college is different stuff. Look at Christian Laetiner, Derreck Coleman, and Harold Miner. Those guys would be NBA legends if college translated to NBA. Meanwhile, guys like Daryll Dawkins, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and LeBron James all entered the league without even trying college and they're all going to be in the Hall of Fame someday.
